Kikyo, the Dragon of Shadows Part 3

"So it seems that the war of ideals is almost over," Kikyo said while sighing to herself and watching the sun set. "Yeah is does, but look on the bright side at least there won't be any fighting anymore," Lee said. "Yeah I guess but I do wonder though," Kikyo said. "Wonder about what," Lee said. "Oh it's nothing Lee so please don't worry about it," Kikyo said while looking at the ground.

"Oh no don't even start because I know when something is bothering you Kikyo and something is," Lee said while standing next to Kikyo. "Don't be silly Lee nothing is bothering me instead everything is just great," Kikyo said with a smile while secretly hoping that Lee would drop the subject and stop worrying about her.

[Sighs]. "All right Kikyo if you don't want to talk about it then we'll talk about something else," Lee said. "Do you really want to know? I mean, will it really mean something to you if I tell you what is on my mind," Kikyo asked him with her eyes downcast. "Well I would like to think that you could talk to me about anything, but if you don't want to talk to me about it then I won't push you to tell me Kikyo," Lee said quietly, but loud enough for Kikyo to know that he meant every word.

"I was wondering how long it will last," Kikyo said. "What," Lee asked her while confused about what she was talking about. "You once told me that it was human nature for people to fight for their ideals. And since you said that something kept nagging at me until I finally understood what it was and that is if what if the Imperialists don't keep their word after all this time. I mean wouldn't some of the people be mad enough to want to change or even overthrow this government that they themselves helped to create," Kikyo said.

"That is possible, however, I don't think that the Imperialists would be foolish enough to go back on their word," Lee said. "Why is that Lee considering form what I seen over the years the Imperialists don't have to do anything that they said because there isn't anything binding them to their words," Kikyo said. [Sighs]. You are right about that Kikyo, but all we can do is wait and see," Lee said while turning to face the horizon. "Wait…and…see," Kikyo said as she also turned to watch the as the sun faded from over the horizon.

Two days later…

"So what do the Imperialists want with us now when the war is over," Kikyo asked Lee as they walked up the stairs of where the government building would be run. "Actually they wanted you, but I decided to come along to see what's going on too," Lee said. "What could they possible want with me I wonder," Kikyo thought to herself.

"Uh sir, the Shinobi woman is here and so is her companion," a man said as he walked over to his boss's desk. "I can see that, however, it doesn't matter because we can have one or maybe both," the boss said. "But Lord Hao, what if they don't want to do what we want," another man said. "Well then gentlemen we just have to make sure that they don't go give their loyalty to someone else," Lee said.

"So do they except us to knock on the door or something," Kikyo said as she stood in front of the government's door. "I guess, but then on the other hand you would think that they would have someone standing at the door waiting for you," Lee said. "Well then I guess that we'll have to tell them to work on their manners more won't we," Kikyo said. "Right," Lee said. [Then the two warriors began to laugh as the doors to the government building began to open].

"Hello my young warriors and how are you doing this evening," said the police chief to the two still laughing warriors. "On we're just fine," Kikyo said. "Yeah just fine," Lee said after he finished laughing. "All right then follow me," the police chief said. [With Lee's and Kikyo's nods of their heads, the two Shinobi warriors followed the police chief as the door closed behind them].

"Tell me Chief Ryu, why have the Imperialists sent for me," Kikyo asked. "I'm sorry, but I can't tell you that," Chief Ryu answered back as they continued walking. "And that would be because you don't really know or because you "don't" want to tell me," Kikyo said back to him. "Truth be told, I really don't know what they want with you," Chief Ryu said. "Okay," Kikyo said as she tried to calm the feeling of over powering suspension, which was arising within her.

"Well here we are so please enter," Chief Ryu said. "You're not coming with us," Lee asked him as he saw Chief Ryu turn and walk in the other direction. "No my two friends for I have something to take care of that can't wait until later so until we meet again it is goodbye for now," Chief Ryu said waving. "Goodbye," the two warriors said together.

"I guess it's time to see what the Imperialists want with you," Lee said with a sigh. "Yes, I guess you're right, but let us hope that it's nothing too serious," Kikyo said. "Okay," Lee said. [So with their spoken thoughts exchanged the two warriors opened the door and disappeared into the room together].
